Part 2 of 3, Organizing

Okay for the most important part, the paper. I went to walmart and got a couple of their file storage bins, they look like a milk crate. They are a bit longer than a milk crate and have a little lip on the inside edge of them where you can put hanging file folders on. This crate, just like a milkcrate is JUST WIDE ENOUGH to put 12x12 paper in. To seperate the 12x12 paper, I had to get some cardboard and cut it about

13" tall to put between the different colors, themes or however YOU sort yours. For 8-1/2x11 paper, hanging folders work perfectly! Just put tabs on them and sort them by however you do!

I also put my tip sheets I get, printed out samples from ya'll, and other misc, pieces of paper in a folder. I also stand most of my templates on end in the back of the crate.

TIP: To keep the paper standing MOSTLY upright and from sliding down and wanting to sag and bend, fill the extra room in the crate with element number three!

Finally sit this crate on top of the cart. The cart is stable and sturdy enuf for it and I move it around on carpet to put it away in bedroom or whatever.

ALSO, on the side(s) on the cart, I went and got some of those pegboard hangers, like what is used in a shop for tools. Get the ones that are double. I marked and drilled holes for them just below the top edge of crate. You also have to notch out the next lip on crate for the bottom part of pegs I then hang on them xtra picture frames I cut out and you could also scissors or whatever else you have.
